India vs Australia Live Cricket Score 1st Test Day 1

 

IND vs AUS Live Score Updates, 1st Test Day 1:Ravindra Jadeja leaves Australia reeling, Steve Smith gone; AUS five down

Ravindra Jadeja’s double strike dented Australian resistance as the left arm spinner got Marnus Labuschagne (49) and Matt Renshaw (0) out in two consecutive deliveries immediately after Lunch. Aussie pair of  Labuschagne and Steve Smith combined in a strong third-wicket partnership to help the team overcome a shaky start. 

Jadeja cleans up Steve Smith with an absolute beauty. This is the ball that Australia were dreading - pitching close to off stump, doesn't turn and hits the stumps. Smith was playing for the turn but it was not there. Jadeja is on fire with 3 wickets as of now for him. Both the set batters dismissed after lunch for Australia. Score after 48 overs, 

AUS 135/5 (48)

India vs Australia, 1st Test Live Score Updates: Suryakumar Yadav and KS Bharat making their Test debuts, India go with 3 spinners, Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav not in playing XI; Todd Murphy makes debut for Australia in the first Test of Border Gavaskar Trophy at Nagpur.

The India v Australia Test series is one of cricket’s most hotly anticipated events, with Pat Cummins’ side hoping to overturn India’s dominant home record. India have won the last three series between the sides, including two in Australia, but with the form of India’s top order sketchy and the tourists possessing, in Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, two of the Test game’s most prolific players, the encounter could be a close one.

The surfaces the IND vs AUS Tests will be played on has been a hot topic ahead of the series, with some in the Australian media accusing India of “pitch doctoring”. India’s spinners, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, are expected to play a big part, while Australia face a decision over who should partner Nathan Lyon.
